Treatment of municipal waste water with special reference to activated carbon combined with sand
نویسنده
چکیده
Waste water was collected from the municipal town of Madurai and was subjected to filtration in two different filters. The first filter employed sand for the process of filtration where as the second filter carbon for the same. Finally when the clarified water is drawn out of the filter, it shows that there is a considerable reduction in the physico-chemical parameters then that of the untreated municipal water. The BOD value was dropped as 128 mg/l to 55 mg/l after filtration and pH was reduced to 6.85 from 6.93 based on physico-chemical parameters the treated municipal waste water was suggested is fit for irrigation purpose.
